UKOPS IX Day 3 - Sunday's live show with James & Jen (***OFFICIAL THREAD**)
On the third day of UKOPS, my true love gave to me...
Five hours of TV
Four-ty thousand quid
Three camera angles
Two average hosts
And a sofa in front of a Christmas tree!
Seasons greetings and all that jazz. Tonight, Jen Mason and I will continue the UKOPS party with the biggest game of the four-day festival:
You can buy in directly for £110, or go down the tried and tested satellite route. Sky Poker's Laura Cornelius and Ross Jarvis will be playing. We'll follow their progress in the tournament. And, if you'd like us to feature some of your hands, please get in touch.
Most of tonight's live show on 861 will be dedicated to the UKOPS IX Main Event (did I mention it has a £40,000 guarantee?!?), with a bit of Master Cash action on the side. And, for the first hour, between 7 and 8pm, we'll watch the final table of yesterday's £15k Rebuy.
On Friday, Laura asked you, "Who do you think was the best poker player of 2013?" Well, this evening, it's crystal ball time. Jen and I would like to know:
Who do you think will be a breakout player in 2014?
Maybe there's a member of the Sky Poker community you're expecting to crush at the UKPC in February? Now, I'm not guaranteeing anything, but, because this is a special broadcast for me (sob), I may award a few spot prizes for strong contributions to tonight's show. So, I encourage you to use the following methods of communication:

Here's a nice tune for you.
Sorry you're leaving but all the best for the future.
or
Who do you think will be a breakout presenter/analyst in 2014?
My prediction is:- Orford will take down the UKPC, then follow Hartigan to the Dark Side !!!!
Note to self: Mustn't drink too much, while watching Star Wars and reading the forum!
When I started watching channel 865 there were three regular presenters (James, Richard Orford & LML) with three regular analysts (Tikay, Ed Giddins & Trevor Harris). Now only Orford & Tikay will be left, is it because they are either invaluable to Sky or because no-one else will have them?
At least we've got this opportunity to say our thank yous and goodbyes, most others seem to have drifted off the station and we've not known about their departure until after they're gone!
Oh, and one more rapped hand analysis before it's all over, please?
Have a great last show James, you'll be missed by everyone on the Sky community! Now that you won't be presenting here anymore, we do expect you to play more events on the site ;-)
*facepalm*
Enjoy your last show!
Cracking having you on Sky, all the best with the future.
You and Stapes are the Batman and Robin of poker TV.
You asked about a player for next year. I feel Ryan Spittles is one to watch, he is doing really well and gaining loads of confidence.
I also wanted to say that we will really, really miss you on Sky Poker but, will continue to keep up with you commentating with Joe.
Good luck and hope everything goes really well for you in the future.
Looking forward to a great show from you and Jen as always
Good luck to you James in 2014. My most treasured memory of James is when he interviewed me at DTD just after my win in the WSOP main event in 2010. Will never forget you James.
Happy New Year Jen.
